VGA Quick release connectors

[Andrew Broughton]

Looking for something other than the usual finger-screw system to allow a VGA connector to be connected and disconnected quickly, but locking. My thought was that there might be a kit that replaces the jack and thumb screws with a spring-loaded clip system. Something that you squeeze to release.

Anyone seen anything like that? Can't find a single thing on the 'net, but I would think that it exists...

Check Digikey - a quick search for D-sub accessories yields 3 pages of latch-type items. Perhaps something like

745779-2 TE Connectivity | A23446-ND | DigiKey
208101-1 TE Connectivity | A23447-ND | DigiKey
5745404-1 TE Connectivity | A33698-ND | DigiKey


Will a right-angle connector work in this application? I've seen them used to good effect for coax power connectors, as they tend to pull sideways, not out, if you pull in the cable.

Thanks, Rob!

You found what I could not. Right-angle won't fit in this location, so I'll see about the latching system you linked.

Appreciate it!
